Danger in Thunder.Storms.

The chief danger incurred by human
beings and other living animals is due
to their bodies being better conductors
than some objects, although they are
bad conductors in the sense that they
afford considerable resistance to cleo
trical discharges passing through them,
and therefore give rise to the develop
nent of heat and mechanical and mole
cular disturbance. A man standing,
walking, or riding upon an open plain
during thunderstorm is in a danger
GUS position, because his body is apt to
be made stepping-stone of the dis
charge, Offering less resistance to it
than the air. The danger is increased
by the near presence Of large masses of
metal in the ground. Dry, lowlying
positions are safer than such as are
elevated aud exposed. The close neigh
borhood Of water-collrses should always
be avoided. 1t is better to lie fiat upon
the ground than it is to stand or sit. If
shelter is near, the individual should
get at once completely under cover.
To stand under the lee Of house, wall,
hay-stack or thicket of trees is more
dangerous than to remain altogether ex-
posed in the open. The inside of a
barn or clubhouse. we'll away from the
walls, is comparatively safe. A dis
lance of two or three yards away from
the walls, is comparatively safe. A
distance of two or three yards away
from the trunks and branches of trees
is comparatively safe position; but to
lean against the trunk of tree during
prevalence of thunderstorm is
especially dangerous. In the interior
of a house not adequately protected by
lightning conductor it is best to keep
to the lower rooms during thunder
storm, to remain, as far as practicable,
in the middle of the room, to avoid OBJ
jects hung from metal chains, gilt
frames, fre-places, looking glasses with
amalgamated backs, and iron pillars
and balustrades,

Peddlers, again, fall into several dis
tinct categories. There are those who
may be spoken of as locally attached,
who have a habitation and name, and
in most cases take, week in and week
out, regular and unvarying route.
And there are those whose ambition is
wider and more restless, who journey
from county to county, and are seldom
seen twice in the same locality within a
long term of years. Beyond and be-
meath these are the occasional and. so
to speak, amateur peddlers, who more
properly belong to the formidable
hordes Of vagrancy, aud who are
genuine lshmaels, with their hand
against every man, and every mans

ornaments, spectacles, or even clothes

profession which would vie with that of

Odd AyOcations.

A woman who has seen better days
once had fine house of her own, and
the usual embarrassment of bric-a- brac
in her drawing room, which she was
accustomed to arrange herself with
exquisite tastefulness. When the wolf
came to her door she begged one or
two of her former friends having fine
mansions to employ her in arranging
their drawing-rooms occasionally. With
their consent she began an industry
which has developed into business,
Once month this lady-for she is a
lady-goes to the houses of her patrons
with her two assistants, and superin-
tends the cleansing OF the parlors, after
the furniture has been removed, and
then rearranges them in the most elegant
style. If she finds certain articles are
needed to make the room attractive, a
la mode, she purchases them and puts
them in place. She also salects articles
OF virtu, having consummate taste and
judgement in such purchases, for which
she receives commission from the
merchant Of whom she buys It would
seem possibly an extravaganza to the
reader to employ any one for such a
purpose, but considering the wretched
careless methods of servants in New
York, and the numberless articles of
bric-a-brac now in vogue for drawing
rooms, it is an economy and not an ex-
travagance to employ woman of dis
erection and carefulness to keep them in
order. And then our new rich peorle
do not know how to arrange drawing
room, and it is comfort to them to
hire some one who does know, or, rather
q necessity.
Another lady, formerly wealthy,

Banks.

There are several kinds of banks in
the world. Those oftenest alluded to
generously allow you to deposit your
money with them and take care of it for
you, some Of them taking care that you
never get it back again.
There are various ways OF getting
money out of bank. One is to draw
check on the bank; another to draw a
revolver on the cashier. The latter
was the favorite method employed by
the lamented Jessie James, and the
draft was promptly honored, as o gen

CURIOUS FACTS.

DooRNATs made from scrap leather
made into links and strung on metal
wires are a novelty. The appearance
OF these mats is good, while they are at
the same time flexible, durable and af-
ford firm footing.
A HINGED lamp-post has lately been
devised. 1t has the advantage that no
ladder is required to enable it to be
cleaned and repaired, and it also can
be lighted by bending it over, the
lamp-lighter carrying a key for that
purpose.
The danger Of infection from the pro-
miscuous use of the mouthpieces of
telephones is attracting attention. It
is recommended that the mouthpieces
be disenfected every time after using
by means of q disenfecting fluid kept at
every telephone station for the pur-
pose.
"PoGoN1p" is said to be the name
given by the mountainers of Nevada to
a sort of frozen fog that appears some
times in Winter, even on the clearest
and brightest Of days. In an instant
the all is filled with floating needles of
ice. To breath the pogonip is death to
the lungs. When it comes people rush
to cover. The Indians dread it as much
as the whites. It appears to be caused
by the sudden freezing in the air of the
moisture which collects about the SUM-
nlits of the high peaks.
One of the latest novelties in paper
pulp ware is barrel, intended to
supersede the wooden article for all
purposes. It is composed of five pieces
is held together by wooden hoops. and
the head is one piece and fits into the
barrel air tight A quantity Of flour
sent from a distance to New York in
these barrels was found to weigh as
much on it's arrival rs when it started.
Usually there is considerable loss by
the sitting of flour between the joints
of the wooden barrels. AS the material
for making these barrels exists almost
everywhere, the manufacture of them
is likely to prove considerable in
dustry.
